Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a metallocene catalyst component for use in preparing polyolefins.
  • the invention further relates to a catalyst system that incorporates the metallocene catalyst component and a process for preparing polyolefins.
  • Polyethylene is known for use in the manufacture of a wide variety of articles.
  • the polyethylene polymerisation process can be varied in a number of respects to produce a wide variety of resultant polyethylene resins having different physical properties that render the various resins suitable for use in different applications.
  • Medium density polyethylene resins are known for use in making films. Such medium density films are known to have good resin processability due to the presence of long chain branching in the polyethylene polymer molecules. It is known to produce such resins using chromium-based catalysts, which have been known for some time.
  • ethylene monomer, and optionally an alpha-olefinic comonomer typically having from 3 to 10 carbon atoms are circulated under pressure around a loop reactor by a circulation pump.
  • the ethylene monomer and optional comonomer are present in a liquid diluent, such as an alkane, for example isobutane.
  • Hydrogen may also be added to the reactor.
  • a catalyst is also fed to the loop reactor.
  • the catalyst for producing polyethylene may typically comprise a chromium-based catalyst, a Ziegler-Natta catalyst or a metallocene catalyst.
  • the reactants in the diluent and the catalyst are circulated at an elevated polymerisation temperature around the loop reactor thereby producing polyethylene homopolymer or copolymer depending on whether or not a comonomer is present.
  • part of the reaction mixture including the polyethylene product suspended as slurry particles in the diluent, together with unreacted ethylene and comonomer, is removed from the loop reactor.
  • a liquid diluent for example isobutane.
  • a first reactor there is substantially homopolymerisation, optionally with a minor degree of copolymerisation, and hydrogen is introduced into the first reactor to achieve the required homopolymerisation.
  • Copolymerisation is carried out in the second reactor.
  • a hydrogenation catalyst is introduced into the reactants downstream of the first reactor. This process requires the use of an additional hydrogenation catalyst.
  • the reaction mixture when removed from the loop reactor may be processed to remove the polyethylene product from the diluent and the unreacted reactants, with the diluent and unreacted reactants typically being recycled back into the loop reactor.
  • the reaction mixture may be fed to a second loop reactor serially connected to the first loop reactor where a second polyethylene fraction may be produced.
  • the resultant polyethylene product which comprises a first polyethylene fraction produced in the first reactor and a second polyethylene fraction produced in the second reactor, has a bimodal molecular weight distribution.
  • the homo- or co-polymerisation of ethylene may also be carried out under high pressure of ethylene and optional comonomers by the radical route.
  • Ethylene polymers are obtained by homopolymerising ethylene or by copolymerising it with at least one other comonomer in a polymerisation system which operates continuously under pressures of the order of 50 MPa to 500 MPa and at temperatures of between 50 and 300°C.
  • the polymerisation is carried out in continuous tubular reactors or stirred autoclaves in the presence of initiators and optionally of transfer agents.
  • the polymers are subsequently separated from the volatile substances after their departure from the reactor in separators.
  • radical polymerisations can be controlled using stable free radicals, this control making it possible in particular to obtain polymers exhibiting narrow molecular mass distribution.
  • US-A-5,449,724 discloses a radical polymerisation process that consists in heating, at a temperature of from 40°C to 500°C and under a pressure of from 50 MPa to 500 MPa, a mixture composed of a free radical initiator, of a stable free radical and of ethylene, in order to form a thermoplastic resin which has a molecular mass distribution of from 1.0 to 2.0.
  • Olefins having 3 or more carbon atoms can be polymerised to produce a polymer with an isotactic stereochemical configuration.
  • the isotactic structure is typically described as having methyl groups attached to the tertiary carbon atoms of successive monomeric units on the same side of a hypothetical plane through the main chain of the polymer. This can be described using the Fischer projection formula as follows:
  • Bovey's NMR nomenclature for an isotactic pentad is ... mmmm with each "m” representing a “meso" diad or successive methyl groups on the same side in the plane.
  • syndiotactic polymers are those in which the methyl groups attached to the tertiary carbon atoms of successive monomeric units in the chain lie on alternate sides of the plane of the polymer.
  • Fischer projection formula the structure of a syndiotactic polymer is described as follows:
  • an atactic polymer In contrast to isotactic and syndiotactic polymers, an atactic polymer exhibits no regular order of repeating unit. Unlike syndiotactic or isotactic polymers, an atactic polymer is not crystalline and forms essentially a waxy product.
  • C2-symmetric metallocene catalysts are known in the production of the polyolefins.
  • C2 symmetric bis indenyl type zirconocenes can produce high molecular weight, high melting temperature, isotactic polypropylene.
  • the preparation of this metallocene catalyst is however costly and time-consuming.
  • the final catalyst consists of a mixture of racemic and meso isomers in an often unfavourable ratio. The meso stereoisomer has to be separated to avoid the formation of atactic polypropylene during the polymerisation reaction.
  • Cs-symmetric metallocene catalysts are known in the production of the syndiotactic polyolefins.
  • EP-A-0426644 relates to syndiotactic copolymers of olefins such as propylene obtainable using as a catalyst component isopropyl (fluorenyl)(cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride. Syndiotacticity, as measured by the amount of syndiotactic pentads, rrrr was found to be 73-80%.
  • EP-A-577581 discloses the production of syndiotactic polypropylene using metallocene catalysts which have fluorenyl groups substituted in positions 2 and 7 and an unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ring.
  • the present invention discloses a catalyst system for homo- or co-polymerising ethylene and/or alpha-olefins based on a catalyst component of general formula I R" (CpR 1 R 2 R 3 )(FluR' m )MQ 2 (I) wherein Cp is a cyclopentadienyl ring, wherein R 1 is H or a substituent on the cyclopentadienyl ring which is distal to the bridge, which distal substituent comprises a group of the formula XR* 3 in which X is chosen from Group 14 of the periodic table, and each R* is the same or different and chosen from hydrogen or hydrocarbyl of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, wherein R 2 is H or a substituent on the cyclopentadienyl ring which is proximal to the bridge and positioned non-vicinal to the distal substituent and is of the formula YR# 3 in which Y is chosen from group 14 of the Periodic Table
  • the cyclopentadienyl When the cyclopentadienyl is substituted, it is preferably mono- or di-substituted. When it is mono-substituted, the preferred substituent is R 1 located at a position distal to the bridge.

More preferably R" is a diphenyl or a dimethyl bridge.
  • the metallocene catalyst component according to the present invention may have pseudo-Cs symmetry and be suitable for the production of syndiotactic polyolefins. Alternatively it can have C1 symmetry and be suitable for the preparation of isotactic polymers. The type of symmetry depends upon the position and nature of the substituents on the cyclopentadienyl and on the fluorenyl rings.
  • M is Ti, Zr or Hf, more preferably, it is Zr.
  • the fluorenyl may have additional substitution patterns such as for example additional substituents at positions 2 and/or 7, 4 and/or 5, 1 and/or 8.
  • the substituents on the cyclopentadienyl play a major role in the polymerisation of ethylene as they favour the response to hydrogen and thus allow to better control the molecular weight and the melt flow of the final resin. They also play an important role in the polymerisation of propylene. No substituents or symmetrically substituted cyclopentadienyl provides syndiotactic polypropylene, whereas lack of bilateral symmetry generates isotactic polypropylene.
